Here’s Why Leftists Won’t Survive The Coming Economic Collapse

Mental toughness is something that can be taught, to a point. This is the entire purpose of basic training methods used in the military: To take mundane details and elevate them in the minds of trainees while wearing them down with physical punishment. The goal is to condition the mind to ignore distraction, to ignore fear and pain while focusing on the task at hand. Failure is not an option in war, just as it is not an option in survival. Those who embrace distraction and embrace failure because they think it will make things easier for them are filtered out of the recruitment and gene pools.

It is no coincidence that the US military today is dealing with some of the worst recruitment conditions they have ever seen in terms of people being physically and mentally incapable of finishing basic training. The Pentagon currently estimates that 77% of young Americans are unfit for recruitment without a waiver for obesity, drug use and mental health problems. Meaning, Gen Z is so unfit physically and mentally if there was a major war almost 80% of them would be erased from existence.

The problem has become so bad that militaries in the US and throughout the west are being forced to lower standards just to meet minimum personnel goals. One can argue that many young people don’t want to join the military anyway, but this is besides the point. Even if they wanted to, they would not be up to the task.

There are a number of reasons for this development, but I would suggest that the spread of leftist ideology among 63% of Americans age 18-29 according to polls has created a survival vacuum – A generation of mental weaklings.

It’s important to remember that younger people have already adopted more liberal views for decades, but the political Left is not liberal today. The leftists of today are full-bore Marxists, both economically and culturally. They support establishment, economic and corporate centralization, they support authoritarianism and censorship. They support moral relativism and they applaud the concept of an all pervasive welfare state.

n 1980 you might have been able to find a large number of mentally tough people that considered themselves Democrats. Today, you will not find any.

With America hovering in a precarious netherworld between stagflationary crisis and deflationary crisis depending on which poison the Federal Reserve chooses to dose the country, the stage has already been set for an economic disaster similar to the Great Depression or perhaps even worse. Our economic system, which is already strained under a number of threats including high prices and supply chain instability, cannot not remain functional in the manner most people are accustomed.

If we accept this inevitability, we must then ask a logical question: who is going to rebuild? Whoever inherits the mantle will either bring America back to freedom and prosperity, or plunge our society into perpetual tyranny. It all depends on who survives the crisis.

One thing that gives me some hope is the fact that leftists as a sub-group of our population are completely incapable of surviving a major economic crisis event. I’m only pointing out the reality that most of them won’t survive because they are too ill equipped to handle hardship or calamity. Here are the reasons why a post-collapse world would probably be devoid of common leftists…

Leftists Thrive On Crisis, But Will Die Out During A Real Collapse

Leftists have a tendency to exploit crisis and tragedy to shore up power and expand their numbers through fear, but there’s a problem with this tactic. If the crisis is fabricated, a tempest in a teapot, then they do very well; if the crisis turns into an actual disaster with real world consequences including financial decline, supply chain disruptions, shortages and civil unrest, they have no tools to deal with the effects other than mob action and looting.

What happens if they use mob action and looting when the rule of law is no longer a factor in a country with millions of guns? They will die, by the tens of thousands, as people defend their businesses and homes. The violent hordes we witnessed during the BLM riots would not last long during an actual collapse scenario where people are more inclined to use deadly force.

Leftists Are Anti-Preparedness

The political Left has spent the better part of the past 15 years demonizing the concept of preparedness as a tinfoil hat philosophy for “right-wing extremists.” They have set themselves up for complete failure by refusing to acknowledge the practicality of prepping, just so they can attack their political opponents. The ignorance of this kind of thinking is truly mind boggling.

There are some indications that the covid lockdowns may have shocked a small number of them out of their foolishness. It’s hard to deny the threat of economic collapse when the beginnings of collapse are right in front of your face. That said, prepping is not the only requirement for survival, and progressives buying a few months of food and some guns is not going to save them.

Leftists Have An Aversion To Hardship

The vast majority of people that argue in favor of an expanding welfare state are found on the Left. While conservatives support individual charity for those that deserve it, leftists believe that people need to be forced by government to provide and pay for others who may not deserve it. This ideal is driven by their desire to avoid hardship.

Leftists often have delusions of grandeur. They always assume they are destined for great things, they are smarter than the rest of us and that work or sacrifice are problems relegated to the rural “peasants” in “flyover country.” Their vision of work is a daycare, a college campus, a place to socialize, find comfort and self identity, do the minimal amount of labor required and then collect a paycheck. Just look how leftist dominated Twitter was being operated a few months ago – It was not a workplace, it was a day spa for marxist lunatics.

These kinds of people are not equipped to endure the backbreaking struggle necessary to build a survivable environment. They wouldn’t know where to begin. When confronted with hard times, leftists do not ask “How can I fix this problem and improve my situation?” Instead they ask “Who is to blame for my misery and how can I make them pay?”

Leftists Have No Practical Skill Sets

The avoidance of technical skill sets is a real problem for progressives. There are a handful of people on the left that engage in micro-farming and other basic skills as a form of activism, but they are few and their methods are limited by their ideology. As noted above, leftists believe themselves to be too valuable to be wasted on production. Rather, they see themselves as “management,” the people in charge of the people that do the manual labor.

A person could get by on that kind of thinking in a first-world environment where office jobs, tech jobs, government jobs and social work is the norm, but in a collapse environment there are no management positions, office workers, elementary school teachers, trust and safety advisors, platform moderators or bureaucrats. You either possess a valued knowledge set which can be traded or you have nothing. You are either able to produce necessities for yourself, or you are not.

The development of the information age and the data driven economy of first world nations has made matters even worse by convincing people that data is a currency. This is a concept that leftists in particular adore because they think when labor becomes a thing of the past; they will only need their brain and a laptop to provide everything they need. That’s a delusion. The “Metaverse” is a facade and con. There will always be a need for humans to dig in the dirt, forage and hunt, farm and build things with their own hands. As the economy further derails, progressives will arrive much too late at this realization.

Leftists Depend On Government To Fix Their Problems

If the idea of taking matters into your own hands seems abhorrent to you, then you might be a leftist. Leftists view individual action & initiative during a crisis as almost criminal; it is important to them that the correct authorities with the correct permissions handle any dangerous situations. Leftists love to defer to the “experts” because this takes all of the responsibility out of their hands, along with the blame should something go wrong.

But what happens when government is not functional enough to save the day? What happens when inflation or supply chains or personnel shortages make it impossible for government officials to help? What happens when government officials don’t want to help? What happens when they are corrupt and they want to see you suffer?

Leftists rarely consider these kinds of possibilities. For them, the idea that government, grid or Rule of Law could break down is a conspiracy theory. It has only happened hundreds of times around the world in modern history, but because they have never experienced the threat for themselves personally they consider it impossible. These are the kinds of people who will die very quickly during a real collapse.

Leftists Value Feelings Over Reason

The root foundation of leftist ideology is that everything is relative according to one’s personal feelings. That is to say, they believe that their feelings shape their reality, and that “their truth” is the only truth that matters. There are some subjective truths that are near-universal which is why moral conscience is a thing that exists in every culture in the world. Nonetheless, personal ideals are still subject to the forces of nature.

You cannot pretend that you are not starving when you are starving. You cannot pretend that you are not dehydrated when you desperately thirsty. You cannot feel your way out of any crisis because a crisis is not influenced by your emotional fantasies. A crisis will persist regardless of your feelings about it

At the end of the day their feelings do not matter much in survival. This is a very hard lesson leftists will learn as the system continues to degrade. They can cry and scream and wail as they make their demands for fairness, equity and welfare but in the end they will either face the clarity of self reliance or suffer the confusion of incompetency

Modern leftist ideology is a product of extremely safe and controlled environments where people have the luxury & privilege to engage in frivolity. They THINK they want deconstruction. They THINK they want chaos as a means to break the system and rebuild it in their image. What they don’t realize is that if they actually succeed and get what they want most of them will probably die in the process .✪
